Solution

The correct option is A centromere
Spindle fibres are proteins that pull the chromosomes towards the poles. These spindle fibres are formed during metaphase of mitosis. Centrioles help in cell division. During prophase they move towards the poles and in metaphase the spindle fibres are formed between centrioles and the centromere of the chromosome.
